Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty Years of Edison Service, 1882-1922: Outlining the Growth and Development of the Edison System in New York City We have been very fortunate in securing, for the preparation of this volume, the service of one who has been closely identified with the electrical growth of the past forty years; one who is, of all, best acquainted with the life work of the great inventor; one who has contributed in no small measure to the development of the industry through his untiring effort, the clearness and breadth of his vision and the agency of his gifted pen. In reviewing the history of these forty years, the purpose has been not to present an engineering or technical review, but rather to record some reminiscences and portray the progress of the period largely from the human standpoint, indicating how - as opportunity has risen - Edison's earliest achievements have grown, and adapted themselves to the ever-increasing demands of an appreciative public. The author brings into this volume so much of his enthusiastic admiration for the master mind of our industry and his intimate acquaintance with the subject, that our own part of the undertaking has been of the lightest nature. In this tribute to the great accomplishments of Edison in the Central Station field we add our appreciation and sense of obligation to the writer of this volume - Mr T Commerford Martin.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edmund Morris comes a revelatory new biography of Thomas Alva Edison, the most prolific genius in American history. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • Publishers Weekly • Kirkus Reviews Although Thomas Alva Edison was the most famous American of his time, and remains an international name today, he is mostly remembered only for the gift of universal electric light. His invention of the first practical incandescent lamp 140 years ago so dazzled the world—already reeling from his invention of the phonograph and dozens of other revolutionary devices—that it cast a shadow over his later achievements. In all, this near-deaf genius (“I haven’t heard a bird sing since I was twelve years old”) patented 1,093 inventions, not including others, such as the X-ray fluoroscope, that he left unlicensed for the benefit of medicine. One of the achievements of this staggering new biography, the first major life of Edison in more than twenty years, is that it portrays the unknown Edison—the philosopher, the futurist, the chemist, the botanist, the wartime defense adviser, the founder of nearly 250 companies—as fully as it deconstructs the Edison of mythological memory. Edmund Morris, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, brings to the task all the interpretive acuity and literary elegance that distinguished his previous biographies of Theodore Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, and Ludwig van Beethoven. A trained musician, Morris is especially well equipped to recount Edison’s fifty-year obsession with recording technology and his pioneering advances in the synchronization of movies and sound. Morris sweeps aside conspiratorial theories positing an enmity between Edison and Nikola Tesla and presents proof of their mutually admiring, if wary, relationship. Enlightened by seven years of research among the five million pages of original documents preserved in Edison’s huge laboratory at West Orange, New Jersey, and privileged access to family papers still held in trust, Morris is also able to bring his subject to life on the page—the adored yet autocratic and often neglectful husband of two wives and father of six children. If the great man who emerges from it is less a sentimental hero than an overwhelming force of nature, driven onward by compulsive creativity, then Edison is at last getting his biographical due.
